Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.

  3. Remove the tough bottom leaves from each cauliflower, taking care not to remove the stem. Place the cauliflower heads onto a cutting board with the stem side facing upwards, cut vertically on both sides of the stem to remove the loose florets. Reserve florets for another use.

  4. Cut each cauliflower vertically through the stem into 2 even \"steaks\", 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick. Remove any remaining small leaves from each steak. Place the 4 steaks on a baking sheet.

  5. Brush one side of the steaks with some of the oil mixture. Place steaks on the grill, oiled side down, grill for 5 minutes. Brush more oil mixture on top of the steaks and gently flip over, grill until golden brown and slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drizzle with any remaining oil and remove to a plate. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Recipe Yield

4 cauliflower steaks

Recipe Note

Cutting cauliflower into \"steaks\" and grilling them not only gives a flavorful, caramelized, and smoky taste, the presentation is lovely! A delicious change from boring old steamed cauliflower! I like my cauliflower a little on the firm side, so add a few extra minutes if you like it softer.
